Each barrel is different. Each gun is different

Smooth twist isnt a new concept...just how the poylybore twist is applied as I see it in a simplistic form.

Depends if you believe the hype that was around when it was launched. It hasnt proven to be the game changer it was hailed to be.

That said....I am thinking of the FX Impact in FAC for the switch barrel capability amongst other reasons but the barrel itself...I dont care so long as it plants it where I am aiming.

Now they seem to have got a handle on the issues they had at launch.

I have always felt polybore on paper was a good idea and I see an argument for smooth bore too. A hybrid seems an excellent combo and in higher outputs that does seem to have a ring of truth about it.

But really.... when the barrel of an S200 can potentially out shoot a Steyr or Feinwerkbau or Walther or....etc.

You pays ya money and ya takes ya chance.

Like anything...I would want to shoot it before I sloshed out a load of wonga on it.

I want a good barrel and I am not willing to play russian roulette (pardon the pun) with that sort of money.
